“He’s predominantly left footed and can fulfil a number of different roles in the middle of the park. He can play as a holding midfielder if required but can also be box-to-box. He’s also very comfortable on the ball and is good in possession.

“He’ll add energy and he’s a tenacious player who works extremely hard. He ticks all of the boxes that you want in a midfielder.”

Wright added: “He’s highly rated by Ipswich and hopefully he can turn out to be a fantastic addition for us. I think the fact that he was keen to come here speaks volumes for the club and also Scottish football. We really didn’t have to sell the move to Tristan.

“I think this is a very attractive league for young Premier League and Championship footballers in England to come and gain first-team experience.”
